  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The England international now has two goals and four assists to his name across 10 games for Villa in all competitions; at United, he scored seven and registered three assists in 24 games as he struggled for form and consistency.

• WHAT RASHFORD SAID

  Rashford told : "It's a great feeling. It's always nice for a forward to get a goal, so hopefully it continues. I feel like I've been getting fitter and playing better football since I've been here. I missed a lot of football before joining up with them. My body feels good and I'm enjoying my football for now."
